However my favorite one at target is tall grass.

. :-) I'm looking for feedback regarding buying property with Code Violation liens in place from the city, for things like mowing the grass, clearing debris, demolishing a dilapidated and abandoned structure.

I've listened to 30+ podcasts (ear buds while I mow the grass every week), read several books from REI strategies to property management and several topics in between. 

He did not appear to have driven by the comps because the photos used in the appraisal were the same photos that were on the MLS (same flowers on the bushes, same sky, same exact brown spots on the grass).2.  

Will have to look at that.Follow up question - since posting this I see that the FED long term AFR rate is 1.95%.  

It is worth it because they ensure residences keep their grass cut, trash cans off the street, and keep the subdivision presentable.  

We cut it down and killed off all the wild grass and weeds.  

The prop is being sold through the fed gov and and dont think she has had to pay rent for a while.

This will allow me to know if there is any fraudulent activity.I require renters to send me a copy of their drivers license and they pay a $300 security deposit.I still mow the grass myself even though house is an hour away because I like to check on things but I could easily outsource this and rarely have to visit property.Homeaway takes the payments, maintains a calendar and website with pictures and details of the property.I wanted to offset the ownership of a lake house, then very quickly it started paying for itself.

Santitation and from the city for grass not being cut @johnanderson
